I was born and raised here in Rush City and I’m going on my 10th year teaching at Jacobson Elementary!

I am married to my husband Jaryd and we have 2 children, Ava (4 1/2 ) and Jax (20m). You can see them on the left. They are my everything and I adore them.

I love playing sports and I’m always looking for ways to stay active. I help out with fall and winter sports and In the spring I coach JV fast pitch softball. I also play softball in the summer time too.

I love teaching 2nd graders! Each day is a new adventure and each day brings on new challenges. It's my goal to give each child I work with the education they need as an individual student. Showing them that I truly care about each student and the education they deserve is my top priority.

To make a difference in someone's life, you don't have to be brilliant, rich, beautiful or perfect. You just have to care.
